project44 Reviews

project44 has the most dysfunctional and toxic work culture I have ever seen. It's the perfect storm of issues... *The company's success is built on a sales and marketing machine, but the sales team sells products that don't exist. This means product/eng are always playing catch up, putting out fires, and working on customer commits. *Leadership is as political as it gets. You go further rubbing elbows vs your quality of work. The culture has gotten worse in the past year after new senior leaders were brought in to run operations. The changes seemed good at first, but expensive meetings and poor new processes are doing real damage. The trend is clear in the Glassdoor reviews. *Team members are regularly berated in large company meetings. This kind of behavior led to high performers leaving. Executives are arrogant and make poor decisions for short term individual gain vs success of the company and customers. The execs that do care get sidelined. People joke openly about how toxic the work environment is and it's an open secret many will be leaving soon. The company stopped caring about its people a long time ago. They brought on questionable C-level leaders who look good on paper and perform well in meetings, but can't run tech companies. It's sad to see a company with this potential decline so much. I would not recommend working at project44 to anyone. I'll be putting in notice in the next month and I know many of my coworkers will too.

Where to begin? I spend all my time working around technical debt. This company has the worst developer experience of any company in my entire career. Constant short term thinking leads to endless wasted time as we continually mortgage the future for a pitiful short-term gain.
